This and that from Clearwater

Mike Schmidt still has that sweet swing of his. He hit lots of grounders to infielders on Saturday and he hasn't his touch. Now, if we could only see him swing a bat against live pitching! He also spent lots of time giving advice to younger players, some of whom were barely alive when he retired 20 years ago this spring.

On Sunday, Milt Thompson will be having a media batting challenge. Unfortunately, it's in the afternoon after their workout and my flight leaves at 7:45 a.m. I was all set for it on Thursday, but a 45-minute rain shower forced it to be postponed. I'm totally bummed. Maybe next year.
